A state of the art review on impacts of abortion

Abortion has the most contentious implications and is stigmatized more than any other topic connected to reproductive health. Despite the fact that abortion is a global occurrence that is defined as and has occurred throughout recorded history, it remains a highly heated, contentious subject that elicits strong feelings among laypeople, politicians, religious leaders, and health and rights activists. Despite the fact that abortion services in India were liberalized more than three decades ago, the majority of women still have restricted access to safe abortion procedures. This article synthesizes current data on India's abortion situation and investigates the variables that lead to women seeking abortions. It identifies issues such as unmet contraceptive needs, a lack of understanding of the legality of abortion services, restricted access to safe services, and low service quality, all of which drive women to seek services from untrained practitioners. Thus, making abortion services widely legal, as well as gaining a better knowledge of the number, kind, and characteristics of women with unmet needs, may all assist to address this issue to some degree.
